FORWARD ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS THE SIXTEENTH INTERNATIONAL MULTI-CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED COMPUTER SYSTEMS ACS 2009

SUBCONFERENCE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES BIOMETRICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECURITY AISBIS 2009 Miedzyzdroje, Poland, October 16-18, 2009

ORGANIZED BY West Pomeranian University of Technology, Faculty of Computer Science and Information Systems

PURPOSE OF CONFERENCE Artificial intelligence, software technologies, biometrics and IT security are established fields of computer science of both theoretical and practical significance.

The aim of ACS 2008 Multi-Conference is to bring artificial intelligence, software technologies, biometrics, IT security and open and distance learning researchers in contact with the ACS community, and to give ACS attendees an opportunity to talk to experts working in these areas.

Information Systems 1. System analysis of ODL 2. Health informatics (Electronic Health Record, Reliable Health Knowledge, Decision Support, Health Information Risk/Cost-Benefit Equation) 3. Intelligent Information Systems 4. Knowledge visualization in e-learning 5. Competency framework 6. Knowledge management 7. Virtual Laboratory 8. ODL production network 9. Quality issue 10. Modeling and simulation 11. Biometric systems (face localization, face detection and face tracking in color images, fingerprint and face recognition systems, PCA, LDA end other methods a feature reduce and their applications in biometrics systems, extracting features from face, virtual faces and 3D facial models, image and video analysis, indexing and compression techniques (including mpeg-4 and mpeg-7 applications), image and video copyright management and authoring tools, video streaming, video storage and server applications, watermarking, sound segmentation and indexing).

The primary focus is on high-quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the construction, evaluation, application, or operation of the systems. Theoretical papers must make convincing argument for the practical significance of the results.

PAPER PRESENTATION Keynotes and Invited Papers Regular Papers (8 pages) Oral Presentation and Posters

PUBLICATION Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

All submitted papers will go through a process of double-blind review before acceptance for its presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings.

We would like to inform prospective attendees of ACS 2009 that all presented during the conference papers will be provided on pen drive. After the ACS 2009 distinguished selected papers accepted and presented on ACS 2009 will be invited for further revisions and extensions for possible publication in the following journals:

1. Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2. Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 3. Electronics - Constructions, Technologies, Applications (pending).

At least one of the authors of an accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the conference; otherwise the paper will be removed from the digital library of the conference.

INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS The full paper must be at the most 8 pages, including abstract, key words, references and include the e-mail address of the corresponding author/authors. The guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the websites of ACS: http://acs.wi.ps.pl

The page limit of the final camera-ready paper will be announced in the paper acceptance notification.
